C rown’s Commercial Audio mixer/amplifiers deliver legendary Crown quality to the commercial audio
industry. These high-value mixer-amplifiers provide both 4-ohm and constant-voltage outputs (70V
and 100V) for use in a wide range of commercial applications including schools, hospitals, factories,
restaurant/retail, houses of worship, fitness facilities, A/V boardrooms, correctional facilities, and small
offices. Easily configured for a range of uses such as paging, background music, security, and evacua-
tion instructions, Crown’s Commercial Audio units are the smart choice for commercial sound.

AC Line Voltage and Frequency Configurations
Available:
100V 50/60 Hz
120V 60 Hz
220V 50/60 Hz
230V 50/60 Hz
240V 50/60 Hz.

Front Panel Controls and Indicators
Power Switch: Push-button on-off switch. The
power switch does not affect the 24V DC auxiliary
power input.
Input Volume Controls: Microphone/line, four in
180MA and 1160MA, eight in 280MA. Detented
pots with knobs.
Tone Controls: Bass and Treble non-detented
potentiometers on each input channel. Bass ±10 dB
at 100 Hz, Treble ±10 dB at 10 kHz.
Power Indicator: Blue LED indicates power on.
Input Signal Presence Indicator: Green LED, one
for each input channel, illuminates when input sig-
nal exceeds –24 dBu (line) or –70 dBu (mic).
Output Signal Presence Indicator: Green LED,
one for each output channel, illuminates when out-
put signal level exceeds 100 mV.
Clip Indicators: Red LED, one per output channel.
Illuminates at threshold of audible distortion.
Output Volume Controls: One per output channel.
Detented potentiometer with knob.
Back Panel Controls and Connectors
Reset Switch: Resets the circuit breaker that pro-
tects the power supply. 220/230/240V units have a
fuse instead.
AC Power Inlet: Detachable IEC.
Auxiliary Power Input: 2-position terminal strip for
24 VDC (±10%) backup power. Accepts up to 14
AWG terminal forks.
Amplifier Outputs Connector: One per channel, 4-
position terminal strip with COM, 4 ohms, 70V and
100V terminals. Accepts up to 14 AWG terminal
forks. Non-touch cover included.
Output VCA Connector: 4-pin Phoenix-type con-
nector for two VCA control lines of +10 VDC and
ground. Compatible with Crown 1-VCAP and 4-
VCAP modules.
Amp Config Switch: A DIP switch with two func-
tions:
1. Assigns one of the inputs as the priority input
for each output, thereby temporarily muting the
remaining inputs. Muting is activated by contact
closure.
2. Global enable switch for phantom power. Does
not affect RCA inputs. Default position is off.
Priority Connector: 3-pin Phoenix-type connector
allows Input 1 or Input 5 (280MA only) to mute
other input signals by contact closure.
Input Routing Switch (280MA only): DIP switches
that assign each input signal to each output. One
switch per input.
Line Out Connector: One 3-pin balanced Phoenix-
type connector per output channel. Post master,
pre-VCA, with level control. Level controlled by
master volume control.
Input Connectors: Mic/Line Connector, 3-pin
Phoenix-type, low-impedance balanced, one per
input channel. Dual RCA for stereo music signals,
unbalanced, summed together, two connectors
per input channel. Amp Input Connector, 3-pin
Phoenix-type, high-impedance balanced, one per
amplifier channel. Used to link an additional mixer
to the mixer-amplifier.
Mic/line Switch: Selects mic-level or line-level sig-
nals. One switch for each balanced input.
Link In/Out Switch: Slide switch, one per channel.
With the Link Switch IN, any signal applied to the
Amp Input connector will be mixed with the input
signal(s). With the Link Switch OUT, only the signal
from the Amp Input Connector will appear at the
amplifier output.

Convection cooled.
Protection
Current Limit Protection; Thermal Limit Protection
(over-temperature thermal cutout); DC-Fault Load
Protection.
